Help me give my students the materials that they need so they can solve math problems, explain their thinking, and help each other learn.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alvarez's classroom raised $491
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
What I love most about my students is their creativity and determination. They are problem-solvers who work together to understand challenging math concepts. They support one another and are always willing to try new strategies. Their curiosity and teamwork inspire me every day.
Our classroom uses whiteboard desks where students can write, erase, and explain their thinking in real time.
Supplies like dry-erase markers and pencils help them stay engaged and collaborate more easily. These tools are essential for creating a hands-on learning environment where every student can participate and grow.
With your support, my students will have the resources they need to build confidence and succeed in math.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
